I've posted the specs on a rig for myself about ago, but due to the 6700k being hard to get asks of I've started thinking about building my wife's me rig first, and using it to hold Notre over for a couple months, then maybe I could not only get my grey Caselabs SMA8 but with any luck the new Maximus VIII Extreme motherboard and the matching GPU.
I would be using a pair of 240gb ssds in it, as well as a 1tb hdd
This is aiming for a rig for 1080p, and while I would use it for games for a couple months after that it wouldn't be doing much in the way of strenuous work.
Thoughts?
